TORONTO, June 18, 2018 /CNW/ – Automotive Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: APR.UN) (the “REIT”) today announced that it has extended the maturity of one of its existing credit facilities (“Credit Facility 1”) for a five-year term to June 2023 and increased the amount available under the non-revolving component of Credit Facility 1 from $121.2 million to $151.2 million. The additional $30 million will be drawn to pay down existing indebtedness under the REIT’s revolving credit facilities. The REIT has also increased the amount available under the revolving component of Credit Facility 1 from $15 million to $20 million and extended the maturity to June 2023. The interest rate spreads on both the non-revolving and revolving components of Credit Facility 1 remain unchanged at bankers’ acceptance rate plus 150 basis points or the Canadian prime rate plus 25 basis points. Consistent with the REIT’s past practice, the REIT expects to fix the interest rate on a portion of the additional $30 million available under the non-revolving component of Credit Facility 1 using interest rate swaps in due course. The REIT’s Credit Facility 1 is provided by a syndicated lending group led by a Schedule 1 chartered bank.
